FlightView Data Fuels Smarter Business Decisions for Hertz and Springshot BOSTON–( BUSINESS WIRE )–FlightView, the day-of-travel information company , is powering smarter business decisions with real-time flight information. Two travel industry leaders – Hertz and Springshot – have partnered with FlightView and are integrating the company’s data into daily operations. Hertz , one of the top rental car brands in the world, leverages FlightView’s real-time flight information to better manage its fleet. When a flight is delayed or cancelled, Hertz can immediately adjust its operations on the ground – reassigning cars to new customers given inventory will come in later for delayed customers, holding cars for late arrivals, and ensuring that every customer has the car they need, when they need it. “FlightView’s data helps us make quick, informed and profitable business decisions,” said Brian Clemmens, Manager, Advanced System Counter, The Hertz Corporation. “Our partnership with FlightView enables our local teams to more efficiently manage their fleet in real-time, ensuring that we can rent as many cars as possible, and provide a top-notch customer experience.” Springshot , a mobile worker productivity platform that engages workers in the field, is leveraging FlightView data to ensure that aviation-related operational crews are efficient, effective and on schedule – even when the planes they are servicing are not. Using FlightView Data Feeds , Springshot keeps airplane cleaning and catering crews informed about flights and upcoming jobs in real time via mobile apps and enables managers to efficiently deploy individual employees to the right plane at the right time. “Relevant and accurate data is critical to effectively managing a mobile workforce,” said Doug Kreuzkamp, CEO of Springshot. Through FlightView, we’ve been able to help our customers improve their response time, better engage their workforce, and more successfully complete the job at hand.” FlightView’s data is relied on all across the travel industry. The company’s data feeds integrate directly with websites, airport and hospitality digital displays, scheduling and dispatching software, travel management platforms, mobile apps and more. “A single flight delay or cancellation used to throw off numerous parties in the travel eco-system,” said Mike Benjamin, CEO of FlightView. “Now, travel companies are seeing these disruptions as they happen and responding in real-time. The result is better customer service, smarter business decisions and more efficient resource management.” For more information on FlightView, visit corporate.flightview.com .
